Five boys are in hospital with broken bones after the car they
were driving crashed into a tree on the NSW South Coast.

A police spokeswoman said the five boys, aged 10 to 14, were the
car's only occupants when it ran into a tree on Umbarra Road,
Wallaga Lake just before midday yesterday.

She said it was unknown at this stage which of the boys was
driving the car but the vehicle was not believed to have been
stolen.

A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said a 14-year-old in a serious
condition with severe chest and leg injuries and a 10-year-old in a
stable condition with arm and leg injuries have been airlifted to
Canberra Hospital for treatment.

Another 14-year-old in a serious condition and a 12-year-old and
a 13-year-old, both in stable conditions, have been taken by road
ambulance to Bega Hospital with arm and leg injuries, the
spokeswoman said.
